Confusion with using duplicate content. Need advice and help.
I write product reviews on my website and I wanted to know if it causes a problem if I have the exact post as both a home page blog post and also as a sub-menu page post? Google is using either the sub-menu page url or the home page blog post url. I would rather it go directly to my sub-menu post page so you don't have to scroll through the blog posts to find what you're looking for. I never gave it a thought until I realized what was happening.
I need to know if what I'm doing is incorrect and will cause issues with Google with duplicate content. If so, how do I fix it. I'm a newbie and I'm sure this is a newbie mistake, so I'm asking for some advice and guidance.
Thanks for your help.

No, Google is pretty good at figuring this out. Duplicate content occurs across domain names, not within the same site.
So, if I have been copying my sub-menu page post and then copying the exact content onto my home blog page, it will be fine? I just want to make sure that I'm not going to lower my rankings with Google.
Yes, because it is all on the same domain, Google will assign it a canonical URL and won't consider it duplicate content.
Great. I was hearing different things regarding duplicate content. I was confused and worried that I was going down the wrong road with my site and hurting my Google rankings. Is there a way to make my blogs on my home page more organized, for the times that Google uses the url for a product that is posted as a blog, instead of the direct page post?
The blog entries on your home page (blog roll) will always appear in date order (newest first) unless you make a post sticky (in which case it will always appear at the top of the blog roll) or change the order to reverse date order. (Oldest first)
